Printing with leaves and ferns always amazes folks who are new to gelatin printmaking.
And I have a great collection of ferns and leaves that I use all the time in my printmaking.
The more twisted and uneven the better. I think those kinds of fern shapes are more interesting than the perfectly shaped ones.
If you want some help making a bunch of botanical prints, then check out the online printmaking classes.
The thing that is so amazing is that it is possible to get nearly photographic details of the leaves and ferns, with just hand pressure.
